Senior: The academic staff are amazing and will work with students to achieve their goals. Amazing psychology and theatre programs on campus. The campus is beautiful and easy to walk around. The food is decent, served buffet style. Covid certainly took a hit on the student population, but people are coming back. Some professors can be hard to work with, but every college has one or two. It is a very affordable school, and won't completely break the bank.... Read 339 reviews

  Rating 3.8 out of 5  230 reviews

Freshman: This is my first year taking any college classes, I am working full time as a LNA (licensed nursing assistant) in the intensive care unit at my local hospital and have nothing but very helpful teachers. I am taking 4 classes to hopefully get into nursing school next fall. The teachers have been so kind and helpful when I need help. If you need help on an assignment they will gladly help you. If you are sick or if something came up with life and you couldn’t complete an assignment they tell you to just get it done as soon as you can. They also will let you redo assignments if you don’t like the grade you received. Although online schooling is very difficult with technology and not being able to immediately get an answer if you are in a class room, the teachers try to help you the best the can through e-mail or even a phone call or text message. I would highly recommend this school to anyone!... Read 230 reviews

Other: Bennington is a school of quirky talented learners - they are right about that. The coursework is really integrative - you take courses around what you want to do in life and apply your passions differently than others in the class who may be taking the course for a different purpose. And the classes themselves can incorporate aspects of history, art, music, social justice all in one class - you kinda have to read the course offerings online to understand what I mean, but classes are very Socratic and not at all textbook oriented - more project and paper based than tests. You work a “plan” towards graduation and your final project and internships each year support the plan. The workload is pretty intense. The campus meals are great and you have small dorms that are divide by whether you like to party or are quiet. The profs really get to know you and the classes are small. The students are artsy smart and kind, but there’s a lot of parties.... Read 230 reviews

  Rating 4.6 out of 5  10 reviews

Sophomore: I loved the support I got from the advisors, teachers, fellow students, and the resource center. I really learned a great deal in every subject not only from the book but from interacting with the students. The online format can be challenging if you aren’t organized and disciplined but it can be so rewarding if you are active in the discussions and interact with the professors. I don’t think I would have been able to earn my AA and transfer to a BA program without CCV!... Read 10 reviews
